Ingredients
3 large sweet potatoes (5" long), peeled if not organic 1 large white onion 3 cloves garlic1 teaspoon ground coriander 1 tablespoon ground cumin1/2 teaspoon black pepper3/4 cup (6 ounces) skim milk 1/2 cup grated sharp Cheddar 1 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Slice the sweet potatoes and onions as thinly as possible. Chop the garlic. (Tip: I put them all through the food processor using the slicing blade.)
Spray a 9"x13" casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Layer on half of the sweet potatoes, then sprinkle on a third of the spices. Layer on the onions and garlic, followed by a third of the spices. Finally, layer on the rest of the sweet potatoes and the remaining spices. Pour on the milk, sprinkle on the hot sauce and top the casserole with the cheese.
Bake, covered, for 20 minutes, then remove the lid for another10 minutes. The vegetables should be tender, and the cheese should be starting to brown.
Make six 1-cup servings.

     This is my newest favorite recipe - I have tried it on my husband, co-workers and a potluck and everyone raves about it! Thank you for posting it! - 9/16/10

     USE CHILI POWDER INSTEAD OF CORIANDER
    LAYER THE CHEESE THROUGH IT,INSTEAD OF JUST ON TOP
    40 MIN AND 20 MIN AS RECOMMENDED BY MEMBERS - 9/5/11

     This was very good & easy. I also didn't have any coriander--so used chili powder instead/tasted great. I ended up doubling the cooking time. Also, next time I will layer the cheese in between layers, instead of just on top--(not enough cheesy flavor throughtout) - 1/28/11

     I would add more spices the next time I make it. It took about double the time to cook it. But...it was yummy! - 9/21/10

     We really liked this recipe; it was very flavorful! Since I didn't have coriander, I added a little bit of chili powder with the cumin and black pepper. It was fantastic! - 9/28/10

     To make a smaller amount, I used 1 large sweet potato, sliced onions, 4 oz. milk, cumin, and chili powder, with onions and 1 oz. Tillamook cheddar on top (in a glass pie pan). I cooked it in the microwave first, then oven 20 min. 400 deg. The onions and cheese were crispy and yummy on top. - 12/30/12

     The cooking time for this recipe is way off. You'll need at least another 20 minutes to get the potatoes right. - 11/30/11

     Will canned sweet potatoes work as well for this? - 9/15/10

    No, they need to be raw. If the sweet potatoes are canned, they'll already be too soft.

     WOW! what a good recipe! I made it exactly as written and my family thinks I am a gourmet chef! I will be making this again and again! - 10/1/10

     As many said, this recipe takes WAY longer than the directions, nearly double. While the spice mixture is tasty, the potatoes are watery and while I realize the intent is to cut down on calories, it lacks any level of creaminess you would hope for in this kind of dish. We didn't bother saving. - 9/4/12
  • MY-T_DEV
     LOVE it! Came out great, and I didn't even use all the ingredients (no coriander or hot sauce on hand, and used garlic powder instead of fresh). Did bake for 40 mins (not 20) and added cheese on each layer (not just top). Best recipe for sweet potatoes I've ever tried and will definitely make again! - 8/14/12

     I've been looking for a different way to make sweet potatoes. I made this for our Easter dinner and everyone loved it. These are all flavors I like, but wouldn't have thought of combining. I think I'll start adding garlic to my regular scalloped potatoes! - 4/21/11
  • BABSS46
     This was very good, I will fix it again. I would never have thought to put these ingredients together, I'm glad you did, and shared it. Thank you - 9/30/10
  • MSNICKELS
     Yummo!! I added some red bell pepper too, though, and added thehot sauce after, since I had a brain freeze and forgot to stick it in whilst putting it together! I even made extra for a friend who doessome cleaning for us. This is definitely a keeper - 9/17/10
  • SWEESIN
     I will definitely try this again. It does take longer to cook. I wonder if you parboil the potatoes for about 3 minutes if it would help. - 1/25/11
  • TMERTELL
     Even my husband who is a sweet potato skeptic liked them! He went back for a second helping. - 9/19/10

     I won't be making this again. They tasted really good (I used herbes de provence, thyme and garlic seasoning) but the baking time was much longer and the top layer was all dried out and the milk just ended up being a puddle at the bottom of the pan. Baking longer may help but it would be even drier. - 8/8/11

     I switched to the "winter" seasoning suggestion and served with spicy beef roast - delish. Kids ate mashed potatoes - poor them! - 1/9/11
  • THOMS1
     Incredible!!! We make this about once a week. Can't get enough - 10/22/10

     A+ it was very delicious and tasty. I will make it again. I had already cooked the sweet potatoes. Just bake it about half the time. - 9/13/12
  • AGGIE0530
     This recipe rocks. I normally do not like sweet potatoes, but they were just delicious. Thanks for the recipe! - 8/10/11

     I fixed this today, my husband and I both enjoyed it. - 1/25/11
  • TXANGEL6
     This will be a keeper for us. - 9/16/10

     This is going to go SO WELL with my roast beef tonight! - 11/7/11
  • JPANNELL0
     This was good even though I forgot to add the hot sauce! - 1/20/13
